I've always struggled with arched pull ups, as I naturally have a stronger anterior chain, but the tip that helped me address that and get some decent arched pulls ups is to pull your hands away from each other, like you're pulling two curtains apart. After scapular retraction, it really helps fire up the lats and produce less recruitment in the biceps.

Thanks for the tip brother, my biceps always cry before my lats even with arched pull up so it will help a lot. Did you do it during the pull up or is it a different exercise that you do separately ?

As an ex professional gymnast athlete, i would recommend hollow pull ups for the only reason that you engage your pelvis and your core becomes stronger day after day! Both exercises are good😊

Although not mentioned in the video, hollow body also recruits more lats, whereas arched will recruit more rhomboids and teres major.

@danielmillward9947

Teres major actually are the ones responsible for the v taper compared to the lats

Thanks, this increased my maximum reps by 2-3. Very helpful for hypertrophy goals, indeed.

I don't have an arch. I have a hunchback😂

Can we do sets of both the types of the pull ups in a single workout??? Arch for building back and hollow for core!?

Remember that hollow body doesnt mean rounded upper back and shoulders forward, we're only talking about the core, you shouldn't link core position and upper back position together, theyre seperate things

@frankcappuccino9368

How can I fix the problem with shoulders forward?

@nemesyssss

11 ай бұрын

@frankcappuccino9368 focus on it when doing rows (and your pull-ups too, of course) it'll make more sense. Basically, your pull-ups need to feel close to your rowing, shoulders down and back, squeeze glutes, and core to maintain a straight body, avoiding sagging hips. It won't look the exact same during a pull-up but fairly close. Lead with your chest and not your head. This can help you maintain a straight upper back.

Also try close neutral grip pull ups, that engages even more lats. I do only close neutral grip pull ups and pulldowns, nothing more for my back, and my lats have grown so much in just 10 months

Wow! Never heard anyone explain this before!!! Thank you!!!

Insightful and concise point!!

Excellent form . Some of the best I've ever seen .

Ty bro

I'm working on my muscle ups. This will help. Thank you

Excellent advice as always

Hollow is my ravorite

My body naturally took that position after i master the pullups.

Just when you think you have learned everything along comes this fella! Thanks bro, you're a welcomed resource bro! 🤘❤

Please do a Video on which Supplements you take and how your daily nutriton looks like

Bro my minds dirty, thought some other thing seeing the title 😂

Thx bro

I find hollow at the bottom, moving to an arch at the top is best overall. It helps me follow a better path and prevent excessive swinging

Good knowledge

Holy shit your back is see through

I do pullups/leglifts to the ceiling and rotate wrist and hips.

Hollow makes my shoulder aches

bro you are gold

I just subscribed because of this video. 👍

I'm close to my first arched pull-up, but the hollow body one... it's intimidating how much tougher it is

Any advice for forearm pain

just do both

What about hands to body pull/chin ups. Enjoy your videos A pre stretch on the bottom induces a stronger concentric contraction

I’m interested in overall strength from the pull-up so I think I’m going to do the hollow body hold that’s really interesting though I didn’t know there was an arched and hollow body pull-up

No need to think. Just exercise consistently

@perotal

The two aren't mutually exclusive

First time someone mention patterns workout

For some reason I've always felt that hollow was easier and it's allowed me to do slightly more reps. And that's despite coming into bodyweight stuff from a training background that mostly involved various kinds of rowing movements, which are mechanically more similar to the arched pull-up. But even though I'm not able to do as many reps, I still think arched pull-ups feel "better", if that makes sense. More intuitive, and easier to maintain consistent form. I guess maybe because it's more similar to movements I'm used to.

Bar is really good but I prefer them for abs if you want to build those shoulders and chest hit the bench press easy gains quick

If that dude was two shades darker he’d look like a shredded beast

If you care about pure strength, add weight. If you don't care about pure strength or are aiming for hypertrophy, just do your reps with form for safety of joints and rep till technical failure

Hollowed is way easier. Wayyy easier.

Ok, imma do both

I can't do 1wrong pull up so that i do right one like this😊

Recently I've been doing hollow cause rn I'm working towards muscle ups. Got bored of regular push ups.

All of them are good, these details are for professionals more.

My belly goes forward instead😂

Pull ups gives me lower back pain

I always just pencil my body. That what I learned from Chris heria at least.

I didn’t even know i was doing hollow body thnks

This is very interesting. I never really gave this all that much thought. I have been either lifting my knees or holding my legs out perpendicular to the floor to incorporate my abs into the exercise. @FitnessFAQs, what are your thoughts on this? Obviously, holding out my legs during a pull up will mean that my abs are hollow body... I think.

Nice theory

Don't you think that a real quite big difference exists also between the two regarding which muscles are more active? I feel with hollow body lats are targeted better while with arch upper back and rear delt get the most out of it.

Demo back 👍👍

do the same rules apply for chin-ups? i can't get a wide enough grip at my home setup for effective pull-ups so chin-ups are my preferred exercise.

Well I guess it's back day tomorrow

Hey bro I been geting a right lat imbalance which has become very noticeable to the point it affects my bench any ways to fix this doing my head in

For explosive pull ups is it recomended to hollow?

Goat

What a body and accent!

Which is relatively easier, (full ROM not being a factor) arch or hollow body? I think since hollow body demands more core & glute activation, would that would plug up most energy leaks?

So arch is for beginners and hollow is better for pros because it gives more gains if you are strong enough to do it.

For wide pull-ups I do ARCH BODY and for chin-ups and basic pull ups I do HOLLOW BODY

So, if your focus is strength, do hollow, even though arch hits the muscles better??

When i arch my back I sometimes feel a small kind of electrical pain In my lower back

Is it possible I can reach this form one day? 😅

I noticed while climbing that I can pull much harder with my chest forward. I've seen a lot of people fail to do climbs I find easy because they have their shoulders in front of their chest when pulling.

Which one is good for beginners ? Max rep 5

Idk why but hollow body seems a whole lot easier for me

It is normal the legs going foward? Like, im almost doing a lsit lmao

when i'm doing heavy wighted pullups i usually mix the two things: start with an arched back and transition to an hollow body the closer i get to the bar. i've had the best results doing it like that

If you cdo the full pullup with a hollow body, you need to swing a bit to not hit your head.

Easy rule of thumb •For heavy days i.e 3x3,3x5, do hollow body and/or hybrid - because it feels the most natural •For volume days i.e 3x10, etc, do arched back, because *drum roll* it feels the most natural. Problem solved. You're welcome.

🐾 Explains how he limits his range of motion and then says it's easier to achoeve a full range of motion. 🤣 I understand he just chose his words poorly, not egging him on, people need good training tips and he provided. Just thought the wording was hilarious.

but naturaly in a pull up biomechanicaly by itself body moves to hollow at top so why does one would choose to arch if it is biomechamicaly ineffecient ? Even for heavier loads

Clearly an Australian accent

So if I want to go for a PR of maximum pull ups, should I go for the arch ones? I want to make 30 in a row, but I'm stuck at 24

my shoulders are rounded and my arms cannot be fully straight, so its difficult to do a pullup shown in this video

He is doing the pullups so easily. For the people who have watched such videos and have never tried, let me tell you something. Pullups are the hardest of all exercises. Pushups, squats, crunches etc can be achieved within a limited amount of time. Pullups need a lot of dedicated effort both in practice and diet.
